According to a report from Foreign Policy, the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, gave authorization of the inclusive display via an internal memo.

Under the new rules, the LGBTQ+ pride flag will now fly on the same pole as the American flag. This is a welcomed change from the Trump administration, which banned the pride flag at U.S embassies.

In the memo, Blinken gave the embassies the ok to fly the flag before 17 May and throughout June. This authorization aligns with International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia and Pride month.

According to the New York Times, the authorization to fly pride flags is not a mandatory policy and each diplomat can “determine that such a display is appropriate in light of local conditions.”
